Actually it's very easy to add an external mouse to the thinkpad 755Cx. All you have to do is plug the mouse into the PS2 port (on the right side of the machine, next to the PCMCIA ports) This way, the machine automatically detects the mouse, and you can use the same drivers for the mouse as you used for the trackpoint (I have done this with a 3-button logitech mouse, and with an IBM mouse designed for the thinkpads). Alternatively you can hook the mouse up to the com port, but I would not advise you to do this, since you then would probably need another set of drivers, and you would take up a com port which can be used for some thing else (I have used both com1 and com2 on my system for the Mwave modem, and a cellular phonemodem in the PCMCIA slot).
